Your Mail 5-20: Liberal judges on speed dial

The latest federal judge to strike down President Donald Trump’s ruling on sanctuary cities is not only wrong, it’s dangerous. This decision is a gift to drug cartels, street gangs and to lone criminals.

Think about the precedent for judicial power that it sets. Anytime President Trump tries to implement a policy, his enemies are getting a lone district court judge to block it nationwide. There are over 650 district court judges in America so finding a liberal one to rule the way you want is not hard at all. The result is that they slow down the process akin to your local DMV. The standard that’s being set is that any lone federal judge can block any national policy he wants for months or even years simply by dressing up ideological disagreement as a judicial ruling.

There are many implications to this and they are all bad. The potential for abuse is huge and it could go both ways. What if a conservative judge halted funding for abortion behemoth Planned Parenthood or placed an injunction on every gun regulation. The possible excesses are limitless and in the end nobody wins.

The least accountable branch of our government, the Judicial Branch, becomes the most powerful enabling various cities and states to nullify virtually any federal law that they don’t like, effectively becoming their own countries. There’s a term for that -- and it’s called civil war.

Democrats have become radicalized by the far left, which means that their first and foremost allegiance is to an ideology, not the Constitution, not our country or our system of government.

When government officials refuse the orders of the duly elected government because their allegiance is to an ideology whose agenda isn’t with the President and Congress, that’s not activism, politics or civil disobedience, it’s treason.
